A short YouTube monologue (uploaded December 6, 2023 by Justin R. Lester) urging parents and co-parents to make the effort to be present and try—attend games, communicate, anticipate children’s needs—because children remember when adults try.

Is that if you're a parent out there, whether you're a father or a mother or you're co parenting together with someone, is just to just try, right? Like, I know it might be difficult to communicate with a co parent, but try it again. That's it. Try coming to the games. Try seeing. Try thinking ahead to what your child might need. Try being there. Because one thing a child always remembers is that, wow, you tried.
